hy scott,  thanks for your awnser.

yes thats clear. but i can't find any sourcecode. the pl* language doesnt matter, i need that feature only in one function all over my db.

did you have any sourcecode examples?

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/plperl-database.html

nothing about how to access a column by fieldname.

(todo list for plpgsql)

*Server-Side Languages

*[D] Allow listing of record column names, and access to record columns *via
variables, e.g. columns := r.(*), tval2 := r.(colname)

*Re: PL/PGSQL: Dynamic Record Introspection


is that is possible in any pl* language?

Yes, if the language has the architecture to handle it.  plpgsql
doesn't right now.  pltcl, plperl, and plain old C functions can
examine records and do dynamic stuff with them.  Any attempt at doing
dynamic queries right now in plpgsql leads to madness, or so I've been
told.
